Jinko Solar and Longi Green Energy are the world’s two largest photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturers — Jinko sits at roughly 95 GW (gigawatts) of annual nameplate capacity in 2025, Longi at about 85 GW. Together they shipped more than 180 GW of panels worldwide last calendar year, more than the combined installed solar capacity of India. In 2026, both brands still appear in Indian utility-scale, open-access, and Special Economic Zone (SEZ) projects — but the rules around the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s (MNRE) Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on imported wafers, and Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) decide where and when you can actually use them.
This guide is written for commercial and utility-scale solar buyers — Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractors, independent power producers (IPPs), open-access developers, and SEZ export units — who are evaluating Jinko Tiger Neo against Longi Hi-MO 7 or Hi-MO X6 for projects in India. We cover the technology, the warranty fine print, the ₹/W (rupees per watt) landed cost as of Q2 2026, and the specific ALMM / DCR scenarios in which each brand is the right call.
Direct answer. Jinko Tiger Neo (580 Wp, 22.5% efficiency) and Longi Hi-MO 7 / Hi-MO X6 (560–605 Wp, 22.3–22.8% efficiency) are both N-type Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) modules priced at ₹17–19/W landed in India in 2026. Neither is freely usable for MNRE-subsidised residential PM Suryaghar work because of ALMM List-I restrictions, but both are routinely deployed in open-access, SEZ export, and select utility-scale Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) projects where DCR does not apply. For raw efficiency Longi Hi-MO X6 leads; for India after-sales footprint Jinko has a larger service team.
If your project is a behind-the-meter rooftop seeking the ₹78,000 central subsidy, stop reading and pick an Indian ALMM-listed brand — see our Adani vs Waaree comparison or Waaree vs Tata Solar comparison. For every other commercial and utility scenario, the Jinko-vs-Longi decision is worth getting right because a 0.3% efficiency gap across 5 megawatts (MW) compounds into lakhs of rupees over 25 years.
Why Jinko and Longi Are #1 and #2 Globally in PV Module Shipments
Jinko Solar was founded in 2006 in Shangrao, China, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010. Per jinkosolar.com corporate filings, its nameplate module capacity at the end of 2025 was 95 GW with wafer and cell capacity of 90 GW each — one of only a handful of vertically integrated PV manufacturers in the world. Jinko was named Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BloombergNEF) Tier-1 for the fifteenth straight quarter in Q1 2026 and has been the world’s top module shipper in seven of the last ten years.
Longi Green Energy Technology was founded in 2000 in Xi’an, China, and pioneered the commercial mono-crystalline silicon module — the technology that displaced poly-crystalline panels and now accounts for >95% of global module shipments. Per longi.com annual reports, Longi finished 2025 with approximately 85 GW of module capacity, 100 GW of cell capacity, and 130 GW of wafer capacity. Longi is also BloombergNEF Tier-1 and is the largest mono-silicon wafer supplier on earth, selling wafers to dozens of competing module brands.
For an Indian commercial buyer, the practical takeaway is that both manufacturers have the balance-sheet weight to honour a 25-year linear performance warranty. Jinko’s 2024 revenue was approximately ₹95,000 crore (USD 11.5 billion); Longi’s was approximately ₹105,000 crore (USD 12.6 billion). Compare that with Indian ALMM brands and you understand why these two appear on almost every multi-megawatt RFQ — their scale lets them quote sharp ₹/W numbers and back the warranty with audited financials.
The 7-Factor Imported Panel Scorecard
When a procurement head asks us “Jinko or Longi for our 25 MW open-access project?”, we never answer on efficiency alone. We use a named framework — The 7-Factor Imported Panel Scorecard — that weighs the seven attributes that actually move the financial model. Use it on every imported-panel RFQ.
Factor 1: Module efficiency (weight: 20%). Higher efficiency means more watts per square metre, lower mounting structure cost, fewer cables, smaller inverter blocks. A 0.3% absolute efficiency gain on a 10 MW (megawatt) project saves roughly 300 square metres of land and ₹6–8 lakh in Balance of System (BoS) cost.
Factor 2: BoS savings (weight: 15%). Higher Wp panels mean fewer module connections, less cabling, fewer mounting feet. A 605 Wp panel vs a 540 Wp panel cuts module count by about 11% for the same DC capacity — that directly drops labour, structure steel, and DC cable costs.
Factor 3: Warranty terms (weight: 15%). Both brands offer 12-year product warranty and 25-year linear performance warranty. Longi’s Hi-MO X6 ships with a 30-year linear warranty option in select markets, slightly improving levelised cost of energy (LCOE).
Factor 4: ALMM status (weight: 20%). Without ALMM List-I inclusion, the panel cannot be used in any MNRE-subsidised project. For non-DCR open-access and SEZ work, ALMM is not mandatory — but check the latest ALMM amendment at mnre.gov.in before signing a procurement order.
Factor 5: BIS / IEC certification (weight: 10%). Both Jinko and Longi panels sold into India carry Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) IS 14286 marking and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61215 / 61730 certification. Verify the specific model number on the BIS public portal and cross-check the current ALMM amendment on the MNRE ALMM order page before import.
Factor 6: After-sales India footprint (weight: 10%). Warranty claims are only useful if there is a local team to honour them. Jinko has a larger Indian service team headquartered in Mumbai; Longi runs through select EPC partners. Field-replacement turnaround matters for 20-year-plus assets.
Factor 7: Landed ₹/W (weight: 10%). Quote prices fluctuate weekly because of polysilicon spot pricing, BCD changes, and Renminbi-Rupee FX (foreign exchange). Always compare landed-at-site cost, not factory-gate cost.
Score each factor 1–5 and weight to a 100-point total — the brand that crosses 80 wins your RFQ. For the underlying module-selection theory behind this scorecard, see our how to choose solar modules guide.
Jinko Tiger Neo 2026 Lineup
Jinko’s flagship product family in 2026 is Tiger Neo, an N-type TOPCon module series available in 72-cell and 78-cell formats. The most common Indian-imported variants are:
- Tiger Neo N-type 580 Wp (JKM580N-72HL4-V): 22.5% efficiency, 78-cell half-cut, bifacial with dual-glass option. Temperature coefficient of −0.29%/°C, first-year degradation 1%, subsequent annual degradation 0.4%.
- Tiger Neo N-type 620 Wp (JKM620N-78HL4-BDV): 22.7% efficiency, 78-cell, bifacial dual-glass, utility-scale optimised. Same temperature and degradation profile.
- Tiger Neo N-type 440 Wp (JKM440N-54HL4R-V): 22.3% efficiency, 54-cell residential format, optimised for rooftop systems where mechanical handling is constrained.
Jinko’s Tiger Neo was the first commercial TOPCon module to cross 22% mass-production efficiency in 2022, and the platform has progressed to 23.0%+ in lab benchmarks. The 2026 commercial product mix in India is dominated by the 580 Wp variant for utility-scale and the 440 Wp variant for premium commercial rooftop.

Longi Hi-MO 7 / Hi-MO X6 2026 Lineup
Longi maintains two flagship platforms in 2026 — Hi-MO 7 (N-type TOPCon) and Hi-MO X6 (Hybrid Passivated Back Contact, or HPBC). The HPBC technology is Longi’s proprietary back-contact architecture that eliminates the front-side electrode busbars, capturing more incident light.
- Hi-MO 7 N-type 560 Wp (LR7-72HGD-560M): 22.3% efficiency, 72-cell half-cut, bifacial dual-glass. Temperature coefficient −0.29%/°C, first-year degradation 1%, subsequent annual 0.4%.
- Hi-MO 7 N-type 590 Wp (LR7-72HGD-590M): 22.6% efficiency, 72-cell, bifacial, utility-scale standard.
- Hi-MO X6 605 Wp (LR8-66HGD-605M): 22.8% efficiency, 66-cell HPBC, mono-facial premium variant — the highest commercial mass-production efficiency in Longi’s catalogue. Some Hi-MO X6 SKUs ship with a 30-year linear performance warranty.
- Hi-MO X6 Max 620 Wp: 23.0% efficiency, utility-scale HPBC bifacial, limited availability in India in 2026.
Longi’s HPBC approach gives a small but real efficiency edge over standard TOPCon when you compare apples-to-apples cell formats. The trade-off is that HPBC modules cost ₹0.50–₹1.00/W more at the factory gate than equivalent TOPCon — which the financial model has to justify through BoS savings and LCOE improvements.

💡 Fast tip
For multi-megawatt open-access projects, a 0.3% absolute efficiency gain (e.g. Hi-MO X6 vs Tiger Neo) reduces module count by about 1.3% for the same DC capacity. On a 25 MW plant that is roughly 600 fewer modules — directly cutting mounting structure tonnage and DC cable runs. Model the BoS savings before paying the ₹0.50–1.00/W premium.
India ALMM and DCR Status — What You Can and Cannot Use
The ALMM is published by MNRE and is the single most important policy gate for any solar panel sold into India. ALMM List-I covers PV modules; List-II covers cells. As of mid-2026:
- Jinko Solar: not present on ALMM List-I in any meaningful way. A small number of historical entries existed for India-assembled Jinko SKUs through joint-venture arrangements, but none of these are active for current Tiger Neo production.
- Longi Green Energy: not present on ALMM List-I. Longi has publicly stated it does not pursue ALMM inclusion because the manufacturing localisation requirement is non-economic for their China-based supply chain.
The practical consequences for an Indian buyer:
| Project type | DCR required? | ALMM required? | Can you use Jinko / Longi? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential rooftop PM Suryaghar | Yes | Yes | No |
| CFA-subsidised institutional rooftop | Yes | Yes | No |
| State PSU procurement (SECI, NTPC tenders) | Often | Yes | Usually no |
| Open-access C&I (commercial and industrial) | No | No | Yes |
| SEZ export-oriented unit (EOU) | No | No | Yes |
| Captive plant feeding a single off-taker | No | No | Yes |
| Behind-the-meter rooftop with no subsidy | No | No | Yes |
| Mini-grid / micro-grid (private) | No | No | Yes |
For a full breakdown of where DCR rules bite, see our DCR vs non-DCR solar panels explainer.
⚠️ Watch out
ALMM rules have been amended five times since 2022. Always verify the current List-I, List-II, and the model-number whitelist on mnre.gov.in 30 days before procurement. A panel that was eligible last quarter may be off-list this quarter — and EPCs have been caught with imported stock they cannot use on subsidy-linked projects.
When Jinko or Longi Make Sense in India
Imported Tier-1 panels are not the right answer for every project. They make economic sense when at least two of the following four conditions hold.
Condition 1: The project is non-DCR and non-ALMM. Open-access C&I, SEZ-located EOUs, captive plants for a single corporate off-taker, behind-the-meter rooftop without central or state subsidy, mini-grids built by private operators. In all of these, you are free to use any IEC / BIS certified module — and the Jinko-Longi pricing is often within ₹0.50/W of Indian ALMM brands.
Condition 2: Plant capacity exceeds 5 MW. At sub-5 MW scale the ₹/W advantage of imported panels rarely beats the freight and inventory carrying cost. Above 5 MW, container-load economics kick in and Jinko / Longi factory direct quotes become genuinely competitive.
Condition 3: Land-constrained sites where Wp/m² matters. Rooftop and ground-mount sites with hard area constraints — for example, warehouse rooftops capped at 8,000 sqm or open-access land parcels where the developer is paying ₹/sqm rent — benefit from the higher efficiency of Hi-MO X6 or Tiger Neo 620 Wp.
Condition 4: LCOE-driven IPP procurement. If your business model is selling power under a PPA at a fixed tariff, every paise of LCOE matters. The 25-year LCOE difference between a 22.3% module and a 22.8% module is real — and on a 100 MW plant it can swing the project Internal Rate of Return (IRR) by 30–50 basis points.
If none of these conditions hold, choose an Indian ALMM brand — see our Adani vs Tata Solar comparison for the domestic-brand head-to-head, or our products page for solar modules for the full Heaven Green Energy catalogue.
Common Import-Panel Mistakes
Across the imported-panel projects we have audited through 2024–25, the same six errors keep surfacing. Each one is preventable with a 30-minute pre-procurement check.
-
1
Importing for a residential PM Suryaghar project. The panel fails ALMM check, the consumer loses the ₹78,000 subsidy, and the EPC is forced to rip-and-replace. Verify ALMM eligibility at portal submission.
-
2
Quoting ₹/W at factory gate, not landed at site. BCD, freight, insurance, and inland logistics add ₹3.50–4.50/W. The procurement comparison must always be on landed-at-site basis.
-
3
Skipping BIS IS 14286 verification on the specific model. Brand-level BIS approval does not auto-extend to every SKU. Check the BIS portal for the exact model number before placing the import order.
-
4
Locking ₹/W in a Letter of Credit without an FX clause. The Renminbi-Rupee rate can move 4–6% over a 90-day shipment window. Build an FX adjustment clause into the supply contract.
-
5
Assuming the warranty is enforceable from India. Read the warranty document — most Jinko and Longi warranties name the foreign legal entity. Insist on an India-domiciled service partner with a written backstop.
-
6
Ordering one container short. Indian customs and logistics build 5–8% module breakage and tolerance loss into delivered count. Order a 5% buffer above bill-of-materials count or you will be short at commissioning.
Jinko vs Longi — Verdict by Use Case
| Use case | Better choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 5–25 MW open-access C&I | Jinko Tiger Neo 580 Wp | Sharper ₹/W landed, larger India service footprint |
| 25 MW+ utility-scale PPA | Longi Hi-MO X6 605 Wp | Highest efficiency, lower 25-year LCOE |
| Land-constrained ground mount | Longi Hi-MO X6 | Best Wp/m² in the market |
| Warehouse rooftop, 1–5 MW | Jinko Tiger Neo 440 Wp / 580 Wp | Better product availability and stocking in India |
| SEZ export-oriented unit | Either — pick on price | Both compliant, decide on landed ₹/W |
| Bifacial east-west tracker plant | Jinko Tiger Neo 620 Wp BDV | Strong bifacial gain, proven tracker compatibility |
| Behind-the-meter captive (5–10 MW) | Jinko Tiger Neo 580 Wp | Faster Indian after-sales response |
| Premium 30-year LCOE asset | Longi Hi-MO X6 (30-yr warranty SKU) | Lowest end-of-life degradation |
- Larger India service team — Mumbai-headquartered support
- More India-deployment references with Adani Green and ReNew
- Sharper ₹/W landed pricing in volume containers
- Strong bifacial product line for tracker plants
- Hi-MO X6 HPBC delivers highest mass-production efficiency
- 30-year linear warranty option on select SKUs
- Lower 25-year LCOE on land-constrained sites
- Largest mono-silicon wafer maker — vertical supply security
Verdict. For Indian commercial and utility-scale projects where ALMM does not apply, both Jinko Tiger Neo and Longi Hi-MO are technically excellent and within ₹0.50–1.50/W of each other landed. Pick Jinko Tiger Neo when after-sales footprint and procurement velocity matter — a typical 10–25 MW open-access project. Pick Longi Hi-MO X6 when 25-year LCOE is the deciding metric and your developer is prepared to pay a small premium for the highest mass-production efficiency on the market. For any subsidy-linked or DCR-bound project, neither is eligible — switch to an Indian ALMM brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Jinko and Longi solar panels ALMM-listed in India in 2026?
Neither Jinko Solar nor Longi Green Energy holds active ALMM List-I inclusion for their current production SKUs in 2026. A small number of historical entries existed through India-assembly joint ventures, but the present-day Tiger Neo and Hi-MO 7 / Hi-MO X6 product lines are not on the MNRE ALMM List-I. This makes both brands ineligible for PM Suryaghar residential subsidy projects, Central Financial Assistance (CFA) institutional rooftop schemes, and most state PSU procurement tenders. They remain freely usable for open-access C&I, SEZ export units, captive plants, and behind-the-meter installations where ALMM does not apply.
What is the price difference between Jinko Tiger Neo and Longi Hi-MO X6 in India?
In Q2 2026, Jinko Tiger Neo 580 Wp lands in India at ₹17.00–18.50 per watt, while Longi Hi-MO X6 605 Wp lands at ₹18.00–19.50 per watt. The ₹1/W premium for Hi-MO X6 reflects its HPBC back-contact cell technology and higher 22.8% module efficiency. Whether the premium is justified depends on the project’s Wp/m² constraint and 25-year LCOE sensitivity. For most 5–25 MW open-access projects, Jinko offers a better ₹/W; for premium IPP assets with land constraint, Longi Hi-MO X6 pays back the premium through BoS savings and lower LCOE.
Can I use Jinko or Longi panels for an open-access solar project in India?
Yes. Open-access commercial and industrial solar projects are exempt from both ALMM and DCR requirements, so either Jinko Tiger Neo or Longi Hi-MO 7 / Hi-MO X6 can be used freely. Both brands hold BIS IS 14286 and IEC 61215 / 61730 certification required for grid connection. The state DISCOM (distribution company) and Central Electricity Authority (CEA) will accept either brand for the Connection Approval (CA) process. Open-access projects are where both brands have built the bulk of their India deployments through 2023–26.
What is the warranty difference between Jinko and Longi solar panels?
Both manufacturers offer 12-year product warranty and 25-year linear performance warranty on standard SKUs. Year-1 maximum degradation is 1% for both; subsequent annual degradation is 0.4% for Jinko Tiger Neo and Longi Hi-MO 7, dropping to 0.35% for Longi Hi-MO X6 HPBC. End-of-year-25 minimum output is 87.4% for both Tiger Neo and Hi-MO 7, and 88.85% for Hi-MO X6. Select Hi-MO X6 SKUs ship with a 30-year linear warranty option, which can improve a long-dated IPP asset’s LCOE by 2–4%.
Which Indian utility-scale developers have used Jinko and Longi panels?
Adani Green Energy, ReNew Power, Tata Power Renewable, Greenko, and AM Green have all deployed both Jinko Tiger Neo and Longi Hi-MO modules across their multi-gigawatt portfolios. Commercial-estimate deployment data through 2025 shows Jinko at 1,200+ MW cumulative with Adani Green and 900+ MW with ReNew; Longi at 800+ MW with Adani Green and 1,100+ MW with ReNew. Both brands have also been used extensively in open-access EPC builds for Indian corporate off-takers across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.
Is the basic customs duty on Jinko and Longi panels different?
No. Basic Customs Duty on imported PV modules is currently 40% under HS code 8541.42 and applies uniformly regardless of country of origin or brand. There is no preferential duty for any specific Chinese manufacturer. In addition, an integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) of 12% on the assessable value plus duty applies on import. Together, BCD + freight + insurance + inland logistics add roughly ₹3.50–4.50/W on top of the FOB factory price for both brands.
Do Jinko and Longi panels meet BIS IS 14286 certification?
Yes. The flagship SKUs from both brands — Jinko Tiger Neo (JKM580N, JKM620N, JKM440N variants) and Longi Hi-MO 7 / Hi-MO X6 (LR7 and LR8 series) — carry BIS IS 14286 marking required for sale and installation in India. Both also hold IEC 61215 (performance), IEC 61730 (safety), and IEC 61701 (salt mist corrosion) certifications. However, BIS certification is SKU-specific — always verify the exact model number on the BIS portal before placing a purchase order, as not every variant in a brand’s catalogue is automatically covered.
Should I import Jinko or Longi for a residential rooftop project under PM Suryaghar?
No. PM Suryaghar requires ALMM List-I modules, and neither Jinko Tiger Neo nor Longi Hi-MO 7 / Hi-MO X6 is currently ALMM-listed. Installing either brand on a PM Suryaghar project will fail the DISCOM inspection and forfeit the ₹78,000 central subsidy. For residential rooftop, choose an Indian ALMM brand such as Adani Solar, Waaree Energies, or Tata Power Solar. See our how to choose solar modules guide for the full domestic-brand decision tree.
